Ghana's fastest sprinters have arrived in America to prepare for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo later this year.
The seven-man team touched down in Texas on Sunday for two weeks of intensive training at Texas A&M University before heading to Japan for the global competition.
Leading the squad is Abdul Rasheed-Saminu, who made history in May by becoming Ghana's fastest man with a time of 9.86 seconds. The speedster went even faster in July, clocking 9.84 seconds at Powder Springs, though that had wind assistance.
Benjamin Azamati will join the group later after competing in Europe on August 18. He ran 9.98 seconds in California back in May, making him another key weapon in Ghana's sprint arsenal.
